I had learned this way of making baskets in school, I believe it was in elementary, except we used paper which was supposed to represent bark. Unfortunately, the school system doesn’t teach this any longer, which I think is a shame bc the longer we are away from the old ways the more we tend to forget. I was reminded by watching your video. Will try to teach the concept to my children so that they will know. Tfs. Take care, Nikki.
Thanks for the great video, inspiring for me. I´ll get firewood at the end of February, and I think I´ll take some logs and remove the barks before sawing into short logs :) and try out creating some bags.
Outstanding presentation in every regard! If you wanted to extend that pattern in length, or change the diameter along its length, how would you go about it?
Thanks for the question, as this is such an old video we no longer have easy access to the people that made it, however hopefully someone in the community knows the answer!
@@noname-js7qx They are two different plants/species. Sumac trees are Rhus coriaria and have red drupes. Poison sumac is Toxicodendron vernix (formerly Rhus vernix) and has white drupes. You're right, it's best to stay away from that one.
The fruit has great properties as a spice and can be made into Indian lemonade. It also a beautiful fall tree. It can be a pain if it gets going in a place you don't want it. I never heard of any use for the wood. It kind of snaps in half easily. Not a great trait for weaving.
I'd like to see more political solidarity with indiginous, native and aboriginal movements hand in hand with "looking towards" and use of culture. Decolonisation of sorts. I don't know how much there is in British countryside organisations overall, pretty sure there's scope. Naming particular nations and if applicable where things have come down not directly from native groups where those settler groups got their borrowed traditions from, doing so as carefully as we were naming the geographical location here would be a good start. But definitely otherwise soothingly delicious video from a materials point of view and neat and orderly process and smooth camera work, editing and sound.
What a brilliant tutorial and video, thank you John Rhyder for sharing this ~Peace~
Thanks for the comments

such a wonderful process!!..i'm wondering though what kind of tree you are
shaving and stripping the bark from?
can this be done with almost any tree?
What a pleasure to watch
I think I'll try that with eucalyptus. I've got plenty of that around me. Brilliant.

Very instructive video. What type of wood are you using in the demonstration?
wow, just a joy to watch
Thanks Mr Rhyder! Would love to see how you did the base on the flat bottomed container. Do you have that vid anywhere? Thanks muchly. Jay.
Sorry we didn't,t film the making of that one maybe could do one at a later date
It is beautiful. I'd like to try that sometime.
Lovely!
You have plentiful chestnuts in UK? We don't have any in US any longer.
Outstanding presentation in every regard! If you wanted to extend that pattern in length, or change the diameter along its length, how would you go about it?
I loved this

You should do a tutorial on bast shoes, or have you already?
how do you start the flat bottom ??????
Can you use sumac trees for basketweaving? They are a nuisance tree where I live and I need to know what I can use them for.
Why would you use sumac, its called poison sumac in maine. It makes you itchy and give a rash.
